- Place a container of sufficient capacity under drain
plug.
- Remove drain plug (2) and its washer.
- Allow oil to drain completely.
- Wait for dripping to stop.
- Place the machine in working position.(See
chapter: Putting the machine into work position).
- Pour the correct oil quantity and quality through the
opening of the filler plug (1).
- Check lateral gearbox oil level:
• The oil level must reach the lower edge of the
emptying hole.
- Clean and reinstall drain plug (2) and its washer.
- Clean and reinstall filler plug (1) and its washer.
Before draining oil, operate the machine for a
few minutes so that the oil warms up.
The lateral gearbox is lubricated with 0.25 L (0.5 US pints) of extreme-pressure oil for mechanical
transmissions with viscosity grade SAE 80W90 and API grade GL5.
When draining and refilling, it is recommended to use either a mineral base oil with viscosity grade SAE
80W90 and API grade GL5, or a synthetic base oil, type PAO (Poly-Alpha-Olefins) with a viscosity grade
equivalent to SAE 80W90.
